The camo unfortunately dose not come in a calendared version so it will not work well for down gear, working on that though.

Any more info on the new UQ! What type of suspension have you designed for it (channeled shock cord, triangle's, ?) ?

Will you be offering any other colors (camo, green, ?) for both the quilts and socks?

Also will you be offering an option to overstuff?

I am using the same suspension as we have used on the KAQ line, basically corner to corner shock cord with end channels to help with gathering the quilt. Though Triangles would work on them as well.

Other colors will come with time as we can afford to order other calendared fabrics. Though most camos do not come in calendared, and the main green most suppliers have is the kelly green that was used for a long time by another vendor.

Over stuffed option is on the site, with the other products, it is available in 1/2 ounce increments with no limit on how much you would like to have packed into the quilt and a 1/2 ounce limit on the socks, they are pretty full to start with.

Those are some interesting color choices you've got there. They look nice and seem to be priced friendly too. That is a big name to live up to and I've no doubt they do. Viva the partial UQ!

really nice stuff man. your store is turning into one of the ones i look at every day. regardless of need or want or whatever. i just always open it, and flip through your pages... very pro

Thanks, we like to hear that

Glad to help with your gear addiction any way we can

They are just fabric bottoms, with a nice layer of warm down in there to keep your toes warm. Think supper toasty socks not booties. Though at some point we will likely be adding a over sock from some heavier duty materials, so that you can pull them on, hope out of the hammock and do what you need at 3 am.

Around the house it is fine to walk around in them, in the woods not so much.

We are doing them more like Blackrock and we can make up larger sizes by request. We just started with the basics to start off.

Just to let ya'all know ... Paul came through and has set me up so I can order my socks and get them when I get back overseas! Great Customer Service as always Paul. Wish I had them over here right now in this cold poorly heated hotel at night!

You da man Paulie ...

But I'll be styling with warm tootsies when I get back home! Going to be a great piece of kit for those cold nights in the gorge!
